Lee Johnson and his team are working hard on improving the squad for next season. It was reported by the Guardian yesterday that Johnson is visiting Manchester City this week while he has already been out scouting at other matches.

Johnson has also recently revealed that he has been offered several top young prospects from Premier League clubs wishing for Bristol City to give them first-team football next season.

Here we look at the prospects at Manchester City Johnson could be eying up...

Jadon Sancho

The former Watford youth player is seen by many at the Etihad as one of the jewels in the crown at Manchester City's academy, and the technically exquisite England U17 player has scored regularly at all levels of the game that he's played so far.

Could add a pacey attacking option to Johnson's side, espeically if the Robins miss out on the signing of Marley Watkins.

Tosin Adarabioyo

The City centre-back and youth captain has been on the fringes of the first-team squad and even linked with a move to a rival to get the first-team football he reportedly craves although he has just signed a new deal.

A move to Ashton gate could make sense if Johnson views the athletic defender as a viable option to play central defence, although a lack of experience might require a slow introduction.

Unlikely to happen unless Flint is sold off.

Lukas Nmecha

Lukas Nmecha

The former winger is a similar player to Nigerian team-mate Kelechi Iheanacho who has featured in the Premier League this season: a pacey attacker with a keen eye for goal and sumptuous dribbling abilities. A prolific scoring record at youth level is testament to this for Nmecha.

Born in Hamburg but an England youth international, Nmecha would offer a different option to Abraham who learnt across the season how to hold the ball up and retain possession. One for Lee Johnson to ponder.

Brahim Diaz

The Spanish midfielder has featured in several first-team Manchester City squads this season despite being just 17 and even got some minutes in the EFL Cup against Swansea.

With great technique and a superb passing range he could add some more creativity to the Robins' midfield if Johnson decides it's needed.

Brahim Diaz

Diaz supplied some killer passes in the FA Youth Cup Final defeat for the Citizens against Chelsea, and released striker Lukasz Nmecha on several occasions. Perhaps he could be supply bullets to Matty Taylor next season.

Phil Foden

The all-action Manchester City midfielder recently got the equalising goal for Lee Carsley's side in the first leg of the 2017 FA Youth Cup final.

He too has been called into Pep Guardiola's first team plans though has yet to make a breakthrough at senior level. The England U17 player has a fantastic goalscoring record from midfield and could add another threat from midfield were the Robins to take him to BS3.

Guardiola has vowed to give his young charges plenty of time on the pitch in pre-season to make it into his first team squad next season, but regular first team football at Ashton gate next season may be seen as more valuable for the likes of Foden.
